I actually did not know the truth of Anna Anderson, so I greatly appreciated Ariel Lawhon's choice in writing her timeline backwards, alongside Anastasia's timeline, which moved forwards. I really appreciated the author's note at the end of the book explaining some of the liberties taken with the story and some characters, as well as the intriguing way in which Lawhon conducted her research on Anna Anderson while writing the book, which helped her preserve the timeline she chose. I do not know much about the Romanovs or the events in Russia during all of this time, but this book has definitely piqued my interest in learning more. If there is nothing else to say about this book, it is that it is a nice starting point for exploring history. However, there is plenty to say about this book. I feel it was very well done and just might sit with me for a little while.
